The justASK Podcast Part of The HIVE Collective
#justASK is a healthcare podcast that is dedicated to providing evidenced-based information by a multidisciplinary team of women’s health experts in order for individuals to make informed and optimal healthcare decisions and to learn and understand the issues around surround women throughout the lifespan. We provide answers to the questions you may not know how to ask by interviewing experts in nursing, medicine, sexual health and wellness. Your co-host Dr. Heather Quaile is a leading Women’s and Gender-related Nurse Practitioner. We started in 2020 with Dr. Quaile and colleague Dr. Tara Thompson, pharmacist and now welcome our cohost and leading women’s health expert and nurse practitioner, Jackie Piasta. This is a safe space where no question is off limits and we advocate and encourage listeners to just ask their most intimate questions and to breakdown the barriers of embarrassment and taboo.

The Discussion of the Lancet Article on "The Over-medicalization of Menopause"
Menopause deserves care and attention! Just because it is a normal process of aging doesn’t mean that women should be forced to grin and bear the multitude of symptoms that are associated with menopause not to mention the significant health consequences that are associated with the hormone decline of aging. We are in total agreement that we need to have a balance conversation around menopause and that we should very much reframe the conversation but this does not mean taking us back in time and pulling all the progress that we’ve made over the last 20 years since the WHI (Women's Health Initiative) trial was released, this means pressing forward with a conversation that empowers women to take full control of their menopause journey regardless of their treatment decisions.
Here is the Link to the article in the Lancet to make your own informed decisions around care:
